I found out about the Lime Spiders in 2009, after my dad borrowed two CDs of theirs.

The two he borrowed were “Volatile” and “Beethoven’s Fist”.

Also, a little fun fact. These CDs came from the collection of Peter Steele of Type O Negative fame!

I always thought that the Lime Spiders were an interesting band and they were actually the first band I was ever into that no one I knew was also into.

They were my first real obscure band, and I have a crazy radar for the obscure stuff it seems.

This album is radical and fantastic.

It took a little while, but it’s finally on Spotify for your listening pleasure!!

Essential Tracks: Volatile, My Main Attraction, Strange Kind Of Love

AllMusic Staff Pick: Lime Spiders Nine Miles High 1983-1990

The Lime Spiders were obsessed with the late '60s but also seemed to draw inspiration from punk. This collection of 26 cuts on a single disc offers the best of the best of Mick Blood and company's Australian garage madness on the greatest of Australian labels and one of the best reissue labels in the biz -- Raven
